Key Responsibilities

Leadership & Operating Model Transformation

  • Define and execute the global IAM operations strategy and target operating model, aligned to Zero Trust principles and Vanguard's enterprise risk posture.
  • Transform IAM operations from manual and reactive to automated, predictive, and scalable, with clear SLAs, KPIs, and operational health metrics.
  • Build and lead a globally distributed operations organization, fostering accountability, ownership, and continuous improvement.
  • Serve as a visible IAM operations leader in executive, risk, and governance forums-articulating outcomes, risks, and operational maturity.

Operational Excellence & Automation

  • Drive aggressive automation across IAM operational processes, including access provisioning, deprovisioning, lifecycle events, certifications, and exception handling.
  • Reduce operational friction and cycle times by eliminating toil, standardizing workflows, and integrating IAM into upstream and downstream technology platforms.

  • Champion Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) and ITSM best practices within IAM operations.

Global Delivery & Service Ownership

  • Oversee incident, problem, change, and service management processes for IAM platforms and services ensuring high availability and resilience in partnership with engineering.
  • Lead root cause analysis for operational issues and ensure systemic fixes-not workarounds.
  • Drive consistency across regional teams while respecting local regulatory, audit, and business requirements.

Cross Functional Partnership

  • Partner closely with cybersecurity, cloud, infrastructure, application, and business teams to embed IAM seamlessly into enterprise workflows.
  • Collaborate with compliance, audit, and risk partners to ensure IAM operations meet regulatory and control expectations.
  • Act as a key liaison between IAM strategy, engineering, and operations, ensuring execution matches intent.

Preferred Skills & Experience

IAM or Operations Expertise

  • Experience operating IAM services at enterprise scale, including:
    • Identity lifecycle management
    • Access provisioning and certifications
    • Directory services and authentication platforms
    • Privileged and nonprivileged access operations
  • Understanding control frameworks, operational risk, and audit readiness.

Automation & Modern Operations

  • Proven success driving automation led operational transformation in complex environments.
  • Familiarity with DevOps/SRE concepts, infrastructure as code, and API driven operations.

Leadership & Influence

  • Demonstrated success leading multiregional teams, with strong coaching and talent development skills.
  • Ability to communicate complex operational concepts clearly to executives, engineers, and business partners.
  • Strong stakeholder management skills with the ability to influence without authority.

Preferred Qualifications

  • 8+ years in IAM, cybersecurity, technology or enterprise technology operations, with 4-6 years in leadership roles.
  • Track record of leading largescale operational or service transformation initiatives.

Why This Role Is Compelling

  • Opportunity to define the future of IAM operations at Vanguard.
  • High visibility role with direct impact on security, client trust, and business enablement.

  • Work alongside senior leaders across cybersecurity and technology on mission critical initiatives.
